The Greatest Commandment

Fr. Mike’s sermon invites the listener to consider Jesus’ greatest commandments as a call to love through deliberate commitment rather than fleeting emotion. To love God is to love what God loves, revealed in Jesus’ life. In a world fractured by war, polarization, oppression, and retribution, Christians are called to defend victims without dehumanizing others, pursue peace with justice, hold wrongdoing accountable while making room for forgiveness, and embody Christ as repairers of division. In this countercultural vocation, faith rests not in safety or avoidance of conflict, but in God’s presence and the hope of resurrection.
